Robert J. “Bob” Mosier, 81, of 125 Colonial Terrace, Towanda, PA passed away Thursday, Dec. 27, 2012 at the Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre. “Bob,” as he was known by his family and friends, was born Oct. 21, 1931 at Spring Lake, PA the son of the late George S. Mosier, Sr. and Louise Johnson Mosier. He attended the Wyalusing schools and in early years worked on farms in Mehoopany and Homets Ferry.

Bob later purchased the former Hagerman Farm at French Asylum, which he owned and operated along with his sawmill for 28 years until his retirement.

Following his retirement, Bob and Geraldine resided on Kerrick Hill for 15 years and at the Colonial Terrace in N. Towanda for four years.

Bob loved the outdoors, helping his son on the farm, hunting, fishing and was an avid bowler and member of the Wyalusing Bowling Association. He loved spending time with children, sharing stories and visiting with family and friends. He will fondly be remembered by all for his sense of humor and telling jokes.
